The Importance of early detection
It takes the average person with hearing loss 5 to 7 years before seeking a professional diagnosis, in spite of the fact that the signs and symptoms of hearing loss are clear to other people.
Perhaps you know someone with hearing loss who either denies the concern or declines to seek out professional help. While this is no doubt frustrating, it is very likely that the indicators of hearing loss are much more clear to you than they are to them.
Symptoms of untreated hearing loss
Benefits of Hearing Aids
The only way to correctly diagnose hearing loss is through audiometry, which will measure the exact decibel level hearing loss at different sound frequencies. This is the only method to objectively show whether hearing loss is present, but the challenging part is, of course, getting to that point.
Early detection and intervention is important. Hearing loss can negatively affect quality of life for all members of the family. Hear In America can help provide that first step in detection. Register Now to receive a complimentary hearing screening.
